In the wide-open spaces of Texas, USA, Johnny Cruz Buckingham pushed the limits of towed asphalt skiing to a breathtaking new level. Achieving an incredible speed of 69 mph (111.04 km/h), Buckingham has been officially certified by the World Records Authority as the holder of the Fastest Towed Asphalt Skiing record — an exceptional display of speed, skill, and fearlessness.

Asphalt skiing — being towed on skis across a dry surface rather than snow — requires a unique combination of balance, physical control, and nerve. At 69 mph, the margin for error is essentially zero. Every shift in body weight, every change in the towing vehicle’s speed, must be instantly compensated for with instinctive precision. Buckingham’s ability to remain in full control at this velocity represents the very pinnacle of the discipline.

The World Records Authority officially recognises and celebrates Johnny Cruz Buckingham for achieving the fastest towed asphalt skiing run ever recorded. His record stands as proof that extraordinary athletic achievement is not limited to traditional winter venues — it can happen anywhere, at any speed, with the right combination of training, courage, and skill.
